UPDATE ON THE BRIGHTBUG GLITCH: It will work whenever your character is wet, that is all. You can get wet by rain, puddles, lakes, those water jars on Iron Keep, equipping Pharros Mask, etcetera. 1. Get wet 2. Use the Brightbug 3. Quit game 4. Load your game file and done It will only disappear when you go into a loading screen (warp, die, etc).

Man that was a great video I also have noticed that you forgot the spell cast swap glitch Sit at a bonfire equip a spell you wanna cast more of with a spell with more casts (recommend soul arrow), next warp to a bonfire and while the animation plays left click with mouse then right click press back to spells and go to the spell you want the cast from wait till the screen is black and click on the spell it's pretty tight to time but if it goes well you have a diffrent amount of cast now you can have like 30 soul spears it goes back to normal if you quit out or the spell moves or gets swapped great for spell casters Edit: it sadly only works on PC so sorry Console players you gotta stick to herbs to refill your cast

[@PhobiaSoft]

That one was actually in the script originally, but I decided to drop it since it was PC exclusive. You are super right, and it still works!

[@icebrorottenmushroom1817]

Also have a theory on why that happens but I'm not sure about it being true at all Because you swap the spell at pretty much last frame the game didn't had time to swap the full spell but only the amount of use so you load in with the amount the spell that the game attempts to switch i thought of that because if you go spells after the glitch you see the spell that has been used for the glitch (aka if you spell swapped the spell you see soul spear at the Gameplay hud and see soul arrow at the bonfire spell menu)

[@TheTexasDice]

Dark Souls 3 is a good game, but it has absolutely no replay value because it only has one viable playstyle: Roll and R1 with fast weapon. Heavy Armor, heavy weapons, bows, miracles, magic - all of that is terrible. It's also a very frustrating game, because the rules of the enemies aren't your rules. The player can't have poise and the player can accidentally hit walls. Enemies however have poise and their attacks go straight through walls. I'm also not a fan of the often-praised level design; While it is more logical than Dark Souls 2's, there are too many bonfires and Fromsoft gave up trying to make good, satisfying shortcuts. The one thing I give Dark Souls 3 credit for, are the bosses. DS3 has the overall best bosses from all three games.

[@TheVioletBunny]

@@TheTexasDice I don’t think it’s a bad game I just don’t think it’s a good dark souls game I think they should have just kept this as a bloodborne 2 and created game that felt more like a dark souls game it’s the only one in the trilogy and series counting demons souls that has this style of combat and artistic style I don’t consider bloodborne a souls game I see it as another fromsoft title like sekiro which just uses some of their signature style on top of.

Keyboard and Mouse glitch here. You can turn a low use spell into a high use one. (Or the reverse...?) Select your spell, then warp anywhere. But then right click the screen, the right spots would be unlocked areas. It should show "back." Select, then go back to the attune spells screen. And highlight another spell. Just as soon as the loading screen happens, if you confirm your change, you'll spawn with your spell usages swapped, but you'll have, for example, 30 forbidden suns by 'swapping' it with Soul Arrow. It'll last up until you quit the game. So it unfortunately won't work with the brightbug glitch since that requires quitting out, and for this one you must not quit out.

If someone were to want the easiest no death run possible; You play the game through on NG once. Before you enter NG+1 you want to farm up your level to a crazy amount, get all gear you want or need and max it out and then start NG+1. You will be that overpowered that its rather hard to die in the first place. A no bonfire run on the other hand requires low skill. ITs all matter of time in the end. A failure only makes it longer to come back to your point.

there is a glitch allowing you to have more casts of any spell when you have a spell like forbidden sun that takes 3 slots and has 1 cast at base, you can glitch it to take 1 slot and have 30 casts, you do need a mouse for it though 1. attune the spell you want to increase the casts of 2. fast travel somewhere (you can fast travel to the same location you are already in) 3. during the fade out right click with the mouse it should pop up the back option, after clicking that option you will see the bonfire resting menu again 4. click the attune spell option and then the spell you have attuned 5. there is a flash of the screen after the fade out finishes, during that flash select a spell like soul arrow (that has 1 slot and 30 casts) to switch the forbidden sun 6. once the loading screen finishes (from the fast travel) you should have 30 casts of forbidden sun and it should appear in the attune menu as soul arrow after the glitch going in the menu and equipping another soul arrow will work to increase the casts to 60 and so on (yes you can have infinite forbidden suns) it works with any combination of spells it will last until you either die or quit the game i think ymfah has a video where he shows how to do it

Just a quick tip: if you punish yourself and play cleric if you use the force spell against the shortcut wall in the Forrest of the fallen giants it also explodes the barrels, so you can be inaccurate and if you're bad like I was a few years ago then that's no more spending 10k souls on firebombs (yes I really did that) and you can stand a small distance back

There's a weapon moveset swap glitch that can be done, it allows any one handed move (attacking, parry, or spellcast) in either hand to immediately transition to two handed stance mid combo, it also works vice versa, allowing you to make a two handed action immediately followed by any one handed action (potentially with another offhand weapon). To do the one hand switched to two hands, press the hands switch button (triangle for playstation) twice quickly and do any one handed move, then the next action performed will be done as if using two hands, even changing the light or heavy attack string by using the first attack in the one hand moveset followed by the second attack in the two handed moveset. The two hands to one hand swap works differently, press the hands switch button and the attack after a short delay, then press the switch button immediately after the attack, this has the same principle as the first version but using your two handed action first. The timings for the one handed swap is strict while the two handed swap is a bit more forgiving.

[@rowaned14]

I should point out this this doesn't work with switching from one handed to an off handed two hands or power stance switch because the switch button needs to be held down for those, nor does switching from power stance to one handed. Switching from a two handed offhand attack to one handed works though.

Unpetrify the statues up the stairs in Aldia's keep, one of them drops 2 bonfire ascetics. Pick up the dragon bones around the area, in the room with the mirrors and in the courtyard outside. Burn one of the ascetics at the bonfire in the shed. Repeat. This route might only work in the updated SotFS versions. I don't know much about the 360/PS3 item placements.

[@noah9942.]

@@Skullivon also, the other statue drops Elizabeth mushrooms and (more importantly) the best herbs in the game. easy spell spamming.

[@duroorud527]

@@Skullivon do the warpick guys not spawn in aldia's keep in sotfs? they can drop bones, atleast on 360

I have done this platinum twice and never knew about a lot of this!

[@juniper2788]

Thanks for the info, I never knew about the pursuer glitch ^^

[@voken1380]

I love dark souls 2 it was my first souls game I think as a game by itself without looking at the rest of the series this is still an amazing game

[@icebrorottenmushroom1817]

Also well for me it's even i think the least broken one of them all

I know several that work in current patch that were not in this video, particularly ones that arrive out of the pvp communities (and not just specifically latency-related ones.

[@Saltine3022]

Stanceswaps, block attacks, Instant BS, quick attacks, quickrolls, probably more that aren't coming to me.

I'm confused... This seems like a channel that would have at least a million subscribers, but it only says 20k... Nah, it's probably just glitched! :D

[@PhobiaSoft]

It's the curse I get for glitching so many games!

using an unleveled bow and 150'ish wooden arrows from a small outcrop to the left of the first lever we can shoot the Dragon rider boss. We do not see damage but when hit the boss moves a little. Keep shooting him until he turns to face you and puts his shield out. He cannot be finished off from outside the Boss room but now when you go in the fog door he literally has 1HP. I do not rapid fire, rather I take my time and pause between shots.

[@demonlordrimuru2520]

I have 12vit at lvl 112, I think I focused too much on adp as at 34 it’s my second highest stat

[@triforce_xiii]

It's not a Brightbug, it's a Brightfeature ^^

[@EmbersUponSnow]

I love hearing Windmills in the background.

[@Exialyser]

that brightbug are literally a game's bug make the game brighter shinier and easier

[@PhobiaSoft]

Lol I love this take

[@ladymsoaps]

The brightbug glitch is able to be used anywhere if you have the pharros mask. And I mean anywhere and if you summon a phantom it still stays in effect

[@Splash_husky]

Even though dark souls 2 isn’t my favorite of the souls games, I still actionably come back to play it

[@gluebottles925]

I was playing the other day and I think I saw your message!

[@SubmitToTheBiomass]

Is it possible to get the souls from the pursuer quick kill, but not the items? because I never got the ring of blades or his soul consumable so I assumed I was too slow (ran out of endurance while sprinting) - but I also have 10k souls and I don't know where they came from

[@lorkhel]

nice to see a video about the best souls

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

my favorite game of the series, the mood in it is without compare, love every bit of it , such a fantastic game that for no reason, most veterans don't like, but i adore it.

[@Slurpeeze]

How have I never known about the shortcut in the firebomb clip???

[@bigdog517]

Its a fucking great game

[@molasseshands]

On my first play through I accidentally pulled off the dragonrider quick kill on my first try haha, that was the first boss I encountered too

[@PhobiaSoft]

What an introduction to Drangleic lol
